My wife and I are brand new to chickens and looking to start in the spring( we live in New Jersey and want to wait until after winter). I have an 8x8 space in my yard where we want to build the coop and run.
We will be starting with 4 chickens because that’s the max my town allows new keeps to have. The goal is to eventually move up to six.
Is the space adequate for that many? I read the general rule of thumb is 4sq feet per coop and 10sq for the run. Any ideas on how big to make the coop and run to fit that rule?
Thank you!
